FOGS: A SNPSTR Marker Database to Combat Wildlife Trafficking and a Cell Culture Bank for Ex‐Situ Conservation

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 4, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem internationally. Poaching of animals not only leads to the extinction of populations and species but also has serious consequences for ecosystems and economies. This study introduces a molecular marker system that authorities can use to detect and substantiate wildlife trafficking.

Estimated and in vivo measurements of bite force demonstrate exceptionally large bite forces in parrots (Psittaciformes)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 2, Page 299-315, February 2025.
Bite force in parrots has been explored using data from muscle masses. The values were validated by comparison with data for bite force collected from live parrots. The parrot's reputation for a strong bite force is well founded. Abstract Jaw morphology and function determine the range of dietary items that an organism can consume.

The magpie and the grapes: increasing ozone exposure impacts fruit consumption by a common corvid in a suburban environment

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 5491-5499, November 2024.
Increasing ozone concentration at the ‘Ozone‐Free Air Controlled Exposure’ facility limited grape consumption by the Eurasian magpie. We provide valuable insights to mitigate human–wildlife conflict in agricultural and suburban environments. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian magpie Pica pica is a resident bird species able to colonize farmlands and ...
